Gems From The Basement

I....wow. I don't even know where to start. It's all so overwhelming.

Mother and I were in clean-and-purge mode today. We concentrated on a bookshelf and a closet. And found many many wonderful things.

In Firefox, if you click (possibly right-click) on the word with the red squiggles one of the options should be to add the word to Firefox's dictionary so it won't do that anymore.

As far as the pictures go, doesn't your scanning software allow you to rotate it on your computer before trying to upload it? If not that, at the very least you should be able to rotate the picture in MS Paint before uploading.

I know about the right clicky thing. My options are "children" or "child". Silly.

Those pictures are rotated the right way but blogger flips them on me no matter what. Even if I purposely upload them on their side to try and trick it into uploading it upright, it uploads it completely upside down. It's an evil little game they're playing. Nothing works. I have tried every combination of flip and non flip. No dice.

That's weird about the right clicky thing. I know it offers word suggestions at the top of the box that pops open, but last time I did it, you could just say add to dictionary without choosing one of the suggested words...
